About us

A human-scale company that makes security easier to manage and technology kinder to the people who use it.

The Apalala team

Our story

Apalala was founded in 2010 by Emmanuel Nicaise. From the start the idea was simple: bring together the technical side of security, the human side of it, and genuine care for the people on the other end of the screen — and keep them under one roof instead of three suppliers.

Fifteen-plus years on, that still shapes how we work: hands-on, pragmatic, and allergic to security that makes people's jobs harder than they need to be.

What we stand for

Technology

Technology that makes security easier to manage — and that helps health professionals do their work while keeping patient data secured.

Security

A management approach that gets cybersecurity implemented smoothly, without breaking the way teams actually work.

Well-being

Psychological intervention that helps people feel better — because a secure organisation is made of people, not just systems.

Where the name comes from

Apalala is a dragon — green and blue, which is also why the brand looks the way it does. We picked a dragon over a wolf because a dragon guards its territory without hunting passers-by: powerful, watchful, and on your side. (Ask us over coffee for the full story behind the spelling.)

Work with us

We hire people who care about the craft more than the buzzword. If that sounds like you, there is no application portal and no robot reading your CV — write to us directly.
